RAND SLAMS KERRY: 'HOW CAN YOU ASK A MAN TO BE THE FIRST ONE TO DIE FOR A MISTAKE?'
Big Peace ^ | 9-1-2013 | TONY LEE

Posted on 09/01/2013 9:05:58 AM PDT by Bratch

Appearing on Meet The Press on Sunday, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) slammed Secretary of State John Kerry on his willingness to intervene militarily in Syria by twisting his most famous words against him.

"I would ask John Kerry, How can you ask a man to be the first one to die for a mistake?" Paul said, in reference to Kerry's famous words against the Vietnam War to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1971.

What if Kerry gave a war and nobody came?

Worth repeating. Pure awesome!

To #28: Kerry and a friend threw a grenade into a couple sacks or containers of VC rice, AT CLOSE RANGE. That his how he got rice up his ass.

There is no cure for stupidity but there is a reward, getting elected to Congress.

The only closet I want to put McCain into is the “Cabinet of Dr. Caligari”.

The man is MAD!

To #75: Re’ The Swift Boat thing I always thought was an exaggeration and it was easy for veterans who did not fare as well as he did after the war “to remember” the incident.

BULLSHIT!

Every Swift Boat veteran who provided anything for the book “Unfit for Commmand” had to provide their DD215’s etc, and many provided sworn statements about Kerry’s recklessness and cowardice (on the Bay Hap River where he did “leave a man behind” when he fled the scence of PC 4’s hitting a mine).

Out of all the crew members who served under Kerry on PC 94, (with the exception of an earlier deceased one), either condemned Kerry as a liar and fraud, or in two cases, lied about their even serving under Kerry, which they NEVER DID.

Kerry did some brave things as a Swift Boat commander, and some cowardly things. I won’t take away his successful operations because they were legit, but his three Purple Hearts were fraudulent claims (the rice in the ass from his own grenade, a piece of small metal fragment in his arm due to his short-firing an M79 grenade launcher into part of his boat, and the non-existent “mine blast” injury on his boat on the Bay Hap River. AAR (After Action Report) and ship-damage survey showed that the damage to his boat was caused by hitting something underwater i.e. rock, sandbar, log, because it bent the propeller blades backwards instead of mangling them as an explosion would.

He got banged up because of the collision, not because of the non-existent mine. No “5,000 meters of small and heavy arms” fire from the VC (that’s 15,000 feet up and down a river only 275 feet wide where you could make a SwiftBoat look like swiss cheese with an AK47. No bullet holes in Kerry’s boat. No RPG hits or damage. No nothing for this 3 mile trip into hell because there was no enemy).

Also, the FAC (Forward Air Controller) killed the one VC seen fleeing the scene of the original PC4 explosion. No green enemy tracers were ever seen along the “5,000 meters up and down” the river where Kerry claimed he took heavy fire. A friend of mine, for the follow-up book “To Set the Record Straight”, located two FACs and got their first hand accounts of what they saw that day. (I worked on both books).

By the way, my friend was actually in charge of the combined US/SVN operations taking place downstream from where the 5 PC’s were operating. He said that Kerry was a liar and a fraud about the whole operation. I’ll take the word of a combat seasoned Special Forces (5th) leader over “I’ve got to get home” Kerry any day.

Over 260 Swift Boat veterans signed the original letter calling Kerry “Unfit for Command”, and others joined it later on. A lot of us Vietnam hands also joined in supporting the Swifties.

There was no “exaggeration” about Kerry, only the TRUTH, which is why it hurt him so badly.

In my opinion, Kerry is “Unfit” to be an American.

By the way, Kerry is extremely “STUPID” but in the Democrat Party, that is the criteria for office. For guys like Kerry, “there is no cure for stupid” or treason (one day it will all come out).

Nothing you wrote about Kerry would make it seem probable that he’s a war-monger.

I know to many patriot Americans, Comrade Kerry, who was anti-Vietnam War in the 60s and 70s, is guilty of being a hypocrite, but what you reason and fact based folks don’t understand is that Kerry is a Progressive (Communist) - thus in the days of the Vietnam War the Internationalist Duty was to stand with the Communist Party of Vietnam in Hanoi against the United States.

However, today when a Progressive (Communist) is PUSA and you are his Secretary of State, one’s clear Internationalist Duty is to be FOR THE WAR!

I hope I cleared up this misunderstanding :-)

If you read the Archives closely (and at mind-numbing length) you will find these strange moments of conflict, when a more recently launched operation obviated an earlier, ongoing op in such way that, for instance, one directorate S illegal actually “eliminated” another agent on his own side.

Thus today we see Comrade Kerry and Comrade Putin, still Great Believers, acting in opposition to one another as their particular op dictates.

You can’t help but wonder which will end up Stalin and which Trotsky.

John “Present for Duty” Kerry, aka Horseface the treasonous traitor was in Vietnam all of 4 months before he fanagled a way to abandon his men. He left Vietnam with a fraudulent Silver Star, Bronze Star and at least two fraudulent PHs.
He came back to the states and immediately started his political career by rounding up a bunch of liberal airheads, mostly draft-dodgers who had never sat foot in Vietnam, to bring them before Congress and tell the world, led by John Fonda Kerry, that they had seen AND PARTICIPATED in war crimes, worst than anything “Genghis Khan” could have done. Every word of the testimonies, including the lying ass, treasonous Kerry’s was a baldfaced lie that was proven to be a baldfaced lie. If he had witnessed war crimes and didn’t report them, he was guilty of dereliction of duty. You do not admit to being a war criminal unless you know it’s pure BS and can’t be proven. You can’t prove a lie and that is exactly why the sorry SOB was not charged with treason and war crimes against the United States. He is lowest form of scum, no one in American politics comes close.

that Nixon had some moxie!

I didn’t know it was BEFORE. Thanx.

I’d show you my draft card but Kerry and I burned ours and threw them over the fence at the WH, just before heading for our flight to Paris to interfere with the peace negotiations.

Maybe the’y make me Sec of DOD.

This Syria thing is pure deflection intended to change the discussion from Obamas numerous scandals and Obamacare problems to a new war in the Middle East. Even the sheep can’t avoid discussing it because if we don’t it gets us sucked into another McCain cesspool that is not about USA security.
